Important Notes and Requirements

  • Use of Anyware Client SDK requires a separate agreement with HP Anwyare.

  • The SDK is intended for use cases where client customizations are required and when Anyware Software Clients, PCoIP Zero Clients, and PCoIP Mobile Clients are not sufficient. 

  • The SDK is intended for customers with software development skills and knowledge, as well as a sound understanding of virtualization systems.

Release Overview

The PCoIP Client Software Development Kit (SDK) is a set of libraries and binaries provided to Teradici Cloud Access Software customers who require the ability to customize and build a PCoIP client.

With control over how the PCoIP client is built, you can:

  • Build clients that conform to your company style and branding guides.
  • Build clients that adapt to customized workflows (for example, embed a PCoIP session into a software solution).

PCoIP Client SDK 19.11 introduces new fixes and updates to the previous release. This article provides a summary of key additions, compatibility notes, resolved issues, and known issues for this release.

To build additional functionality, such as extended peripheral support, you can utilize the Teradici PCoIP Virtual Channel SDK.

What's New in This Release

This release introduces the following features and enhancements to the PCoIP Client Software SDK 19.11 for Linux:

Connecting USB flash devices to a remote host

You can now connect USB flash devices to a remote host. Only flash drives can be connected. Only the USB 2.0 protocol is currently supported.

  • USB 3.0 flash drives will not work when plugged into a USB 3.0 port, but will work when plugged into a USB 2.0 port.
  • USB 2.0 flash drives will work when connected to a USB 3.0 port.

Improved Audio Input Bandwidth

PCoIP monitors the bandwidth available for audio and selects the audio compression algorithm that provides the best quality possible for the available bandwidth. Previously PCoIP endpoints use the Opus audio codec for audio output only, now this codec is available for audio input. By using the OPUS codec for audio input, high quality audio recording is possible even when bandwidth is limited.

Enhanced Security and Stability

This release contains improvements and enhancements around the security and stability of the PCoIP Client Software SDK for Linux.

PCoIP Ultra

This release contains improved support for PCoIP Ultra, our latest PCoIP protocol enhancements. This is an evolving feature that will continually improve with each release. For more information see the PCoIP Agent documentation.

Auto-Forward USB Devices

This release enables USB devices to be automatically redirected to the remote desktop on connection. Either all devices can be forwarded or a set of devices specified by VID/PID.

Important Notes and Requirements

  • The SDK is intended for Cloud Access Software who require some client customizations when PCoIP Software Client for Windows and Mac, PCoIP Zero Clients, and PCoIP Mobile Clients do not meet their needs. 

  • The SDK is intended for customers with software development skills and knowledge, as well as a sound understanding of virtualization systems.
